Exorcize . . . I thought he said, "Extra Fries" and I was all in.

Regarding Dusty and Greene County: I was born and raised in central Indiana but like most Indiana folk, I was attending H.S. basketball games and running around the top of the gyms before I knew how to dribble a basketball. Indiana fans know basketball and have a connection to the sport unlike many others. While I know very little about Greene County, Indiana, like so many others I know the small schools in that county have a reputation for fantastic H.S. basketball coaches/teams. For those of us who grew up during the one class system in the state, we remember those small schools from Greene county kicking @$$ in the tournament against schools much larger with much greater notoriety year after year. Dusty was raised in that area and around that basketball atmosphere so I'm not surprised at all that he was successful at FAU. I think he has the "IT" that IU needs to recruit in state players along with those portal players who he recognizes with the same "Indiana" fight and grit. I'd take Dusty over any coach IU has hired since Coach Bob Knight any day.

Full disclosure . . . just trying to get rid of the "jockstrap".

In the meantime, while we wait for more info and/or a news dump . . . are all IU fans "True Fans" again now? Asking for a friend.

I think I recall Steve Fisher still had the interim tag when he led Michigan to the National Championship in 1989.

Wisconsin is coddled by conference officials to the point of developing a habit of getting away with incredibly physical play. Then, come tournament time, the officials from other conferences do not allow/accept the moving screens, pushing, and holding Wisky teams are known for around the league. The thing is Wisconsin puts a very good team on the floor every year and I don't think they need all of that physical play to win. Still, bad habits come back to haunt them outside the conference.

First time posting here. Like so many other longtime IU grads/fans, I was disappointed with the outcome this season and I began to have doubts about Coach Woodson’s ability to coach at the college level. Then, senior night happened; and Woodson brought the “true fans” and “I’m doing my job” and “understand that” comments. It seemed to me he had burned bridges at that point and IU would have no choice but to head in a new direction. Instead, IU loaded him up with NIL money and his first “lock” is another 5 star forward who signed with IU (when his NBA second league gig fell through). IU fans see what Woodson obviously can’t see . . . what he is doing isn’t working and more of the same is not the answer!
